You can now seamlessly track contacts mentioned in your email conversations—whether they’re in the “To,” “Cc,” or even just referenced in the email body. With our newly introduced “Mentioned Contact” activity type and smarter email analysis, FirstQuadrant automatically recognizes and logs every person mentioned, providing richer context across your CRM activity timelines. When you view an activity or draft, you’ll see all contacts who were part of the thread, making it easier to follow complex conversations and keep everyone in the loop. This feature ensures that action recommendations, reminders, and outreach insights now reflect the full picture of who’s involved, helping you nurture relationships with greater awareness and precision.
